Over the coming days we'll be bring you news, gossip, tantrums and anything else we can find out, from our bunker deep within the bowels of Vector Arena.

You can stay up to date by following us on Twitter, or checking back here.

If you have any questions, leave a comment and I'll try my best to find out..

We'll of course be on the Red Carpet from 5.45pm this Thursday, as well as live blogging the results as they happen. You wouldn't get faster results if you tried. Or if you were here.

Yawn yawn yawn! The naked and overrated will rule this year's awards farce. Same ol same ol. These things have very little to do with actual music!
